In the late 19th century, the scramble for Africa is in full swing. The Magnificent Cake, a stop-motion animated film, tells the stories of five individuals caught up in the colonial machine: a troubled king, a middle-aged Pygmy working in a luxury hotel, a failed businessman on an expedition, a lost porter, and a young army deserter. Their lives intersect and diverge as they navigate the complex web of colonialism, greed, and violence. With a unique blend of drama, history, comedy, and animation, This Magnificent Cake! offers a fresh and powerful perspective on the legacy of colonialism.
